All around the world, Papai (Pape , Papai , Папай ) is a common primarily masculine, but very seldom feminine forename. The forename Papai is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Senegal, where it is quite a common boy's name, Cabo Verde, and Gambia, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Measured by absolute frequency, this name is the most popular in India, Senegal, and Italy. Very seldom, Papai is the last name as well as the forename.
